Blue Blot was a blues rock ensemble from Belgium, led by vocalist Luke Walter Jr., known for merging elements of blues-rock and soul with a strong emphasis on chart-topping tracks. Their initial release, Shopping For Love, came out in 1987 under the modest Belgian label Ace. Subsequently, after signing with BMG/Ariola, they achieved notable commercial recognition in Germany and Scandinavian countries through the albums Bridge To Your Heart and Where Do We Go, which featured a rendition of Toto's "Hold the Line." In 1993, Walter Jr. departed the group due to leukemia and was succeeded by Steve Clisby; Walter Jr. then embarked on a solo path prior to his passing in 1996.
